1. Did you set the permissions to allow connections through Windows Firewall?
     
  2. Dat windows 2012 server firewall. LEWL.. Restart the server after opening the connection.

    Be sure to host the server on session 0 in windows 2012 or you will have lower server FPS.
     
  3. Still can't connect :(

    what do you mean with session 0?
    [DOUBLEPOST=1440162434][/DOUBLEPOST]And it doesn't show up in local network either, and client.connect 127.0.0.1:28015 doesn't work
     
  4. When you run windows , Anything in session 1-5 will end when you log out. Windows will auto log out, or reduce priority to applications in those sessions if you do log out and they are left running.

    In session 0 on windows this does not happen. Applications in session zero have priority over any other application running, especially when realtime process is selected for the applications. They do also pose a security risk because the application is allowed to do what ever it wants. Rust poses no security risk so this is okay.


    Post your command line so we can see it just to make sure nothing is wrong there.

    Use this path to get to the firewall to add a new application for public. It will automatically add all the ports, We will only use this for testing. Do not leave all ports open.

    Since you said 127.0.0.1 I will assume you are hosting locally and have opened ports on your router. Place your local ip address that is being hosted on in DMZ for a second to test. Again do not leave it like that.

    What makes me scratch my head is you cannot connect through localhost.... There is really no port forwarding or anything required to connect to a locally hosted server...

    If you are connecting to a locally hosted server on your same computer you can simply type connect, in the console. without anything else and it will connect to your server if its setup properly.

    Taking a second look at your picture. It doesnt look like you are starting the server with a proper command line at all.

  5. command line:
    @echo off
    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0 +rcon.password "-----"
    [DOUBLEPOST=1440233270][/DOUBLEPOST]Should it say 0b/s in and 0b/s out ?

    And i tried changing the command line to

    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode

    And it still didn't work
     
  6. If you are trying to connect from the same pc as the server is running off, then you won't need to open any ports if you are trying to connect from a different pc on the same network, then you need to allow the ports 28015 and 28016 in your router firewall also if you are using any firewall soft you also need to open the ports in that as well
     
  7. No the server should be in local network when on the same network as my computer.

    And i hve opened both the ports in my router and firewall.
     
  8. So the game and server are running from the same pc? If yes, then you don't need to open any ports if it's only you in there testing
     
  9. Just for the hell of it, Set your server IP address as 127.0.0.1 , Make sure that in the windows firewall private is checked.

    Is this a fresh install? If not check your hosts file make sure its not modified.
     
  10. If running it from local host and logging in from local host you dont need to set any ip in the bat file also if you want others to login to your local hosting server giving them your ip will let them join all you will need to do is open the ports in your router firewall
    Here is what I have in my bat file
    @echo off
    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0 +rcon.password "****" +server.hostname "Clan Wars |Stacks|FF|Remove|TP|Home|Kits|Clans" +server.worldsize 5500 +server.seed 21457845
     
  11. I think we should just focus on him connecting locally for now. He cant even connect locally. Lets focus on one thing at a time.

    I asked him to set the ip as the local host. If this was done, no one else would be able to connect to it anyway. Kiwi, If you would like you can start a private conversation with me. I will help you. If worst comes to worst, We can use teamviewer and I can help you.
     
  12. This is they way I have it and its local and if i want someone to join its only a matter opening the ports the way I said will work but really need to make sure he has the bat file in the right place and everything set up right as his problem could be a number of things
     
  13. I would assume his bat file is in the proper place since the server is starting...
     
  14. If he can upload the logs, warning and error ones as well it might show a problem as he cant login there is a problem somewhere
